Collaboration Implicit model: Independent research that then might be shared/integrated But… concern for potential redundancy, inefficiency: I don’t think they’re [internet tools] realistic for group work because if like everyone has to find some information then you’ll all come up with different things. Because if everyone’s looked at different websites then you’re all going to get different things. Or, in Google, when you type in someone’s name and you get the same thing, everyone’s going to get the same information and then it’s just going to be a waste Informal collaboration: unbounded conversational constructions formal collaboration: circumscribed, (assessed?) projects to deadlines

Inquiry Dominant practice: Google keyword search and BBC But… concern for diversity of voice, uncertainty of authority, lack of scaffolding: I would prefer to read it in a book because its more believable isn’t it? On the internet anybody can say anything So if you like went in to search for something about Anne Frank then it will tell you a load of other stuff which you don’t really want to know like it will cover all these different options but it wouldn’t actually have the facts that you were looking for on there Informal inquiry: improvised, unsystematic formal inquiry: abstracting, taxonomic, documented for sharing

Publication Dominant practice: Blog or forum posting But… concern for visibility, evaluation, permanence Let's put it this way. Some people that I know if they walked in the library they'd never hear the end of it. [On a school blog] eople would be taking the mick out of them Like, you get judged on that. If you write a really rubbish thing because you’re having a really bad day and just don’t know the topic, and then someone can look at that, they’d think ‘Oh gosh, this girl’s stupid’ or something Informal publication: Identity and audience controlled formal publication: Visible and judged

Literacy Dominant practice: Video, image, animation But… perception as inherently recreational Informal literacies: versatile and varied, consumption emphasis formal literacies: dominated by text, production emphasis

Informal/formal tensions Web2 themes Collaboration Meandering ‘co-ordinations’ / Goal defined ‘episodes’ Cumulating perspective / Negotiated consensus Inquiry Fragmented assemblies / Integrated schema Narrative structures / Taxonomic structures Undocumented / Documented & authorised Publication In personal communities / in institutions Conversational postings / Project formats Culture of camaraderie / culture of assessment Literacy multi-modality orientation / text and oracy orientation Consumption emphasis / Production emphasis
